Career Prospects

It is expected that the discovery of oil and gas in the Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone will prompt the establishment of new companies and operations with an increasing number of job opportunities. This will result to more science-oriented technical staff who would like to attend an undergraduate program that will turn them into high-level technical/engineering staff for the various operational technologies and processes in the oil and gas fields.
The oil and gas industry offers a variety of careers for graduates of this program to work at its refineries, terminals, chemical plants, or on exploration and production on-shore/off-shore facilities. The following are examples of some of the career options available either off-shore or on-shore:

Petroleum Engineer

Production Engineer

Drilling Engineer

Reservoir Engineer

Process Engineer

Petroleum Geologist

Project Engineer

Research & Development

Access to Further Studies

After completion of the BSc programme in Oil & Gas Engineering, graduates may opt to broaden and deepen their academic skills by pursuing post-graduate (masters and doctoral) studies in this or a related field either in Cyprus or abroad.
